The defiict is increasing under the Dingley bill ; but you don't see as much about deficit as you did a few months ago. . What will the government do. Ob the whole the outlook for perma nently high prices for wheat la not good. Labor in Russia and Argentina is cheap er than in America, and the American farmer ia that much at a disatvantage. Ex. Yesterday was labor day. Few people knew of the fact. Just what it ia for is hardly understood . If it was of any ben efit to the laboring man it might be ob served, but that doesn't seem to be the tendency. From the Post. Newborn, Ala., comes to the front with the liveliest game of baseball on record .

From the Baltimore Herald. Kentucky has four tickets in the field Republican, Democrat, gold Democrat and Populist. Only one State office, and Clerk of the Court of Appeals, is to be voted for, but it does not take much - to enthuse Kentucky when it comes to pol itics. It is reported in Atchison Kans., that D Harmon, the famous Missouri laugh er, is dead. Harmon had a guffaw which could be beard for several blocks, and it was so contagious that he was a great attraction when he visited Atchinson to sell the products of his farm. Harmon lived a lew miles across the Missouri line. A madman struck the chalice from the bands of the prieet celebrating mass in the Saere Coeur at Montmartre, Paris, at the moment of the elevation of the host, shattering it os the altar steps. The priest, who was an old man, struck out from the shoulder and hit the man between the eyes, knocking him sense lew to ths bottom of the steps, where be was captured. Foo Lee, of Nilea Mich., an up-to-date Chinese laundryman, is the first of his countrymen to win a bicycle race in the united States.

The diver was taken out of tbe river uninjur ed, and was placed under arrest by the ponce. That wasn't fair. Paul Kroger is as foxy as old Solomon was. A Boer left bis property to be equally divided between bis two sons. Tbey could not agree. In this country tbey would have gone into court, and the lawyers and others would have got moat of the property. Tbey determined to let President Kruger arbitrate their contintioD. He decided that tbe elder brother should make the division of the property, and tbe younger should have tbe choice of the two shares. Solum on couidn' be wiser than that. Prof. Luigi Dambon of Borne attempts to prove by statistics that northern latitudes and higher altitudes do no conduce to longevity. He says ths average Arab outlives the average Eskimo by no less than twenty-five years and tbat tbe peeple who live on the on healthy coasts of South America survive the inhabitants of the higher and cooler altitudes of tbe interior. The natives of India lire to a surprising old age. Even in Europe people live longer lathe sooth than m tbe north. Among tbe twenty seven million in England there are but 14Q centenarians, while in Spain, with a population of only eighteen million, here are four hundred centenarians. Bryan On Prosperity. The Post-Dispatch prints a letter from W. J. Bryan, tbe firt utterance after months of travel and observation Juring tbe return of prosperity. Among other : things, he says: beat lias risen because the foreign crop has been exceedingly sbjrt. The fact tbat silver and wheat have parted company will cause no dismay to those who understand that the law of supply and demand regulates the price of both. Nothing can show clearer the weak ness of the Republican position than tbe joy manifested by tbe Republicans over events for which their administra tion and their policies are in nowise responbible. the Republicans desire to claim credit for the high price "of wheat tbey assume the responsibility for tbe famine in India. - A general rise ia prices should be fol lowed by a rise in wages'' . , M r Bryan says tbe joy over the increase j iviu wwh ia evioence tbat we have too little money j that if the farmers are benefited by the rise in one of their products, bow much better it won Id be if tbe tue was universal; tbat the price i woeat will foil when the foreign demand becomes nominal, and that the present rise will aid rather than injure the cause of bimetallism.

Phil H Brown, in What to Eat. Railroad Greed, train the Cor vail ia Times. In the shipments east ot green trait local shippers have a vivid ilustration ot the unfairness and inequality ot railroad methods. East of the Mississippi river millions of people are anxious to con sums green prunes, and in Oregon thou sands of orchards groan under the abun dance of the fruit. Connecting the two, are halt a doxen railroads, and a bless lng to both sections would be a trans portation charge for carrying the fruit that would be equitable alike to buyer and seller as well as carrier. It costs at present seventy cents per crate to take the fruit from the tree and lay it down in the eastern market, and fitly cents of this cost goes to the railroad . The grow ere profit for the investment in his land the interminable care of his orchard and the risk of the business must be obtain ' ed by tbe little 22 pound crate of bis fruit to an eastern buyer tor more than seventy cents. Whatever tbe crate brings above seventy cents is the pay for his time, labor and expense and , if no more than seventy cents ie realised the year's work is entirely lost. The grower must take every chance ; tbe rail road must take none. The railroad must have its cent and a quarter on every pound of fruit it handles regardlets ot whether the grower gets anything or not. So conditioned the chiel profit in fruit shipping goes to the rai'road to pay its $300 charge for a car from orchard to market to pay which, the grower's earnings may be wholly swallowed up. Thus the selfishness of the railroads opens tbe way for tbe criticism peren nially showered upon them and furnish es just ground for it. If they dealt upon the principle of live and let live icstead of their practice of raking in evertLing in sight, tbe green fruit business would develop into a far more important in dustry, and the profit of both railroad and orchardiat would be much enhanc ed. John Green Brady of Indiana, who has been appointed governor of Ala ka, never knew bis parents, says the Sevan nah News. He grew up a vertiable treet arab in the utmost poverty. In 1860 he was sent to Indiana with a car load of waifs. The car reached Tipton, a county seat thirty miles north of la dianspollis, and a number of the young sters were committed to tbe care of res idents. Judge John Green, a prominent citizen of tbe place, called for the "ug liest raggedest and moat friendless" in the lot. "Jack." as be was afterward known, was promptly presented, and he judge took tbe lad borne. Ue appre ciated bis home and tbe kindness of bis benefactors, and dilligently applied him self to study. ,A course at the public schools was followed by a year at Wave land academy, and tbat by four years at Harvard. Alter he had been graduated at Cambridge be was sent by Judge Green to England to pursue his theolog ical studies. Beturn;ng to Tipton in 1876, tbe next year be went to Alaska as a missionary nnder the auspices of the Presbyterian church, and he baa since remainded there. From the Astoria Budget : These are the days wben the working man should be encouraged by a kindly grasp of the hand. Pecuniary ail is good and often well meant, although sometimes bestowed as we throw a bone to a dog; or in an impatient way, as if it were done tj get rid of their impor tunities. A warm baud-clasp atd words of encouragement do not humiliate, but give a man courage to struggle on in tbe hard battle of life. Men who are strug gling should be encouraged in every way. It has been a hard four year., and now tbat some rays of hope are to be seen, we all should rejoice together. For tbe very best of as there is not much sweet ness in life unless we assist in sweeten tag tbe cup of someone who has more of sorrow than of joy. People of genial, kindly nature do much in gladdening the lives of others. Tbey are always ready to say pleasant things and listen with patience to a tale of sorrow and give ad vice in a sympathetic way. Tbe tine friend is the one who stands by in storm as well as sunshine, in ad versity when the world seems to be slip ping from under one's feet, as well as when floating on prosperity's highest wave.

Drain Or. Seini-Centen nlal Editor Democrat: Yesterday was the 50th anniversary of what is probably the first temperance society organised in Oregou. It may be ot interest to your numerous readers many ot whom are staunch friends of the temperance cauBe, to read a few items taken from tbe original records of the organisation, tbat I copied several months ago as follows: "Washingtonian Record." "On Saturday evening Sept ember 5, 1847, at the call of Mr. Joseph Li Meek of TuaUin county, the citisens ol Oregon Citv and vicinity assembled to hear an addreas on the subject ot tern' pe ranee, and joining a ternp.rancs soci ety. The meeting was organised i y callinsr Elder Heiektah Johnson to the Chair." After the speaking, tbe record goes on to say. "The following Fledge was then offered for signature?, when 30 were im mediately enrolled. .Pledge. We the subscribers hereby pledge ourselves to abstain entirely from intoxicating drinks as a beverage. We will discountenance their use in our families and among our friends and endeavor by all fair and honorable means, and by personal ex ample and influence to banish their use from the community." At a subsequent meeting the following was adopted. "Constitution." " Vhereaa tbe time hss arrived, when we in our view it has become an imper ious duty to make a public demonstra tion in regard to tbe monstsr Intemper ance, wblch is blighting the prospects ot our beloved Oregon, we have therefore agreed to form ourselves into a Society to array ourselves on the side of temp erance, and with our united strength to eay to tbe monster, "thus far shalt thou come but no farther," trusting tbat every citisen who has the good ol our lit tle community at lies- ti: join in the cause. We hope the nuie is not tar dis tant when the fires of the distillery shall no more darken this fair part ot onr world. In view of this we adopt tbe fol lowing articles for our government: Article 1st, This Society shall be called the Oregon Washingtonian Society.' Tbe other articles related to tbe duties of officers etc. and bence I don't give them. I found from tbe records tbat steps were taken to circulate petitions asking the Legislature to change the! organic act so as eliminate the word j "Regulate" and insert the word "Pro-! hibit." Itoundno evidence tbat this change was ever made... Among the signers appear the names of Rev. David ! Leslie and William Roberts, missionar ies of the M E church. Rev. Wilson Blain ot the U P church, Revs. Geo. H Atkinson and Elkanah Walker, (my father) of the Congregational church, Elder Hesekiah Johnson, the chairman, was one ot the early Baptist missionar ies. I heard all these ministers preach, a number of timee. Fifty years have flown, and tbe fires ot the distillery still darken this fair part ot onr world aod rage with fiercer flames than in those early years. Tain were the hopes ol thoee earneet men aod women too, wben tbey hoped the tima was not far distant wben this should no longer be. And why do we not have orobibition in Oregon. In 1SS7 as many know amendment was submitted to tbe voters ot this state but was defeated. The reason therefor was explained to me about as follows less than a year ago by a gentleman whoee veracity I have no reason to question. He said tbat six weeks before tbe election bis business took him over certain portions of the state, and he found at that time a strong sentiment in favor of the amendment. Tao weeks before tbe election be was over the same around and found a de cided change. The reason for this was that the Liquor dealers told the Re publican leaders tbat if tbey allowed tbe amendment to carry in Oregon they would defeat the election of the Re publican Presidential nominee, which was afterwards Harrison. For a lot-g time I wondered why It was that the Democratic counties gave majorities for the amendment, as for instance, Linn Co gave about 900 for, while Republican counties gave majorities against as lor instance, Mrion,gavi about 800 agaioet it Wben I was a young man I was led to beleive that Democrats were the whiskey drinkers, and beaid the Demo cratic pany cel'eS tbe whiskey party, I have learned differently in later years My first vote and doubtless tbe first vote ot a nativs Oregon i an was cast in Jane I860, and for tbe Repblican party. At the head ot the ticket was tbe name ol Addison C. Gibbs, often called Oregon's war governor. I voted for Lincoln in 1880 and again in 1864, voted tbe straight ticket nntil. in 1870. wben 1 scratched off a whiskey Republican. In Nov 1892 I voted tbe Prohibition ticket aod have continued to vote that ever since, though where we had no candidate of our own I have selected m) men from tbe three other parties. Giving tbe other parties all the credit tbey.deserve lor temperance legislation, j l atiu nave no hope lor prohibition ex cept through tbe Prohibition rarty or a similar party, and wben a prohibition law is secured as there will be, it will need a Prohibition party behind it, to enforce it. God speed tbat day, for prohibition through the old parties or by Nonpartisan movement has not proved, and never wilt prove a complete -success. Cyrus II. Welksr. Albany, Ore. Sept 6, 1807.

We will be lieve the amount when the boat arrives. Cigarettes have advanced 15 per cent, and some one remarks that the neces saries of death as well as of life are being affected by the Dingley bill. Oregonians should not expect booms. We want no booms. Booms are un healthy. Even in the price of wheat a steady, reliable trice, justified by all circumstances is what ia desired. It is learned that hops on high, dry ground have done well, regardless of tbe rain, while hone on low, marshy ground have done poorly. Hop raisers will take nouce. Rev. I. D.

A sample of tbe fool figuring of the day ia the statement of a man in the agricul tural department that the farmers will ceive 400,000,000 to 1500,000,000 in ex ceea of what was received last year. In order to be true it would be necessary for wheat to have increased $1 a bushel, whereas it has increased about 30 cent.
